Probably you already read my another blogpost about ttytter. This one is additional information on how to enabling popup notifications (like Growl in Mac OS) . According to my previous blogpost, you can run ttytter by executing this command:

# ./ttytter

And, if in any case, you missed it, then you just need to go to FloodGap website, scroll down a little bit, then under the "Download and change-log" section: right click and save file as 'ttytter' (without extension).

Open terminal, go to the directory where you keep the 'ttytter' file and I'm going to improve that a little bit by moving ttytter file to /usr/local/bin:

# sudo mv ttytter /usr/local/bin

Installing notification system
In order to be able to receive a popup notification, you must installing several package from Ubuntu repositories:
1. Installing git-core and libgtk2-perl-notify package
